All the YouTube channels are spitting out X100V videos, I think a new X100 is imminent, which means a new Xpro should be revealed as well!

Most of the recent videos on YT are of the "1/2 years with the X100V," longer-term review stuff. I'm sure they're out there, but I can't recall seeing any of the more recent videos mentioning things like "it's dated," "I'm bored with it," "still really needs this," etc. That in and of itself is pretty impressive.

Why should Fuji hurry up offering a new X100, if people pay 100s more for a X100V than a year ago and Fuji can’t build enough of them to meet demand?

There will be a new X100, but not in a few months.

What do you miss in the X100V?

I also have a hard time believing Fuji has the next model of the X100 series as a high priority right now. No one can keep them in stock, prices are well above the new MSRP for EXC/VG condx used, and it is almost 3 years since it was released. Hard to think of anything similar in the digital era, even Leica stuff.

Fuji has created something very difficult to do in the digital era and in the shrinking camera market...created a cult favorite, an iconic camera that users (pros and amateurs alike) fall all over themselves raving about, much like film shooters to this day speak of their Nikon FEs/FMs, Canon AE-1s, etc. Again, very impressive.

Most people that opine about the X100V's successor seem to mention IBIS in the next iteration. Ok, each user has their own reasons for purchasing cameras, specific or unique use cases. The X100V does not need IBIS, IMHO. If the next X100 comes out with IBIS as the most notable upgrade, likely it will change the form factor significantly. In that case, I would have absolutely no inclination to get the "latest and greatest," seeing as how the X100V performs so well without it.
